Field Trip cost funded by department
The unit should use good judgment as to the academic value of the exercise and the unit's ability to fund.
If the cost of a field trip will be covered by departmental funds, the department should provide their account number to the Motor Pool Office when reserving the vehicle(s). This account will be charged by the Motor Pool Office after the completion of the trip. There is no need to contact the Field Trip Section of the Cashier's Office.
